Republic of Ireland head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson's pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday's match against Israel in Serbia ended abruptly after a tense exchange with Israeli media.
The media access was cut short after an Israeli journalist alleged that Israeli players had claimed they were racially abused by Irish players during their match in Hungary last Sunday.
The journalist alleged a derogatory term was used - which Sky Sports has chosen not to repeat. It is not a term associated with being antisemitic or anti-Israeli.
